Exton

Raina watches, letting her sense of empathy go unrestricted. She can feel those closest to her first, Nicks sudden awareness and concern, and she fans out from there. She keeps a close eye on Star. Erik is with her and as she watches Trooper steps silently from the shadows. Erik looks up and sees Raina and knows immediately that she senses something. Her gaze travels around the tavern, a feeling of evil, a menace almost making her gag.

What the Hel is it? Jeb would not have let anyone in here he didnt trust and has a hell hound for back up. The back door is covered, a window? Has Morgan's shadow slipped in again? There! Near the stairs... and fuck! ...close to Star... Raina stands slowly, reining in a desire to run to her brother and get Star out of harm's way. As she stands the shadow moves closer to the bar.

“K'thyri? Remember that oath?'

Ky's head snaps up at Ranas words. She sees that Raina is watching something. She stands and nods, feeling for her darts as she walks towards Star and Erik. Trooper steps in front of Star and Star lays a hand on the huge ugly head whispering to him. Ky smiles as she approaches Star. “Now that's a pet...” As she stands to one side of Star she can feel the tenseness in Erik. No one will get near her, over my dead body, plus a Viking and a hell hound, good fucking luck...

Gareth is immediately alert too, although from practice he doesnt move an inch.

Raina moves slowly towards the bar, right behind the shadow. Monty looks over at her and she nods towards the shade. Nodding, Monty follows from behind the bar. Gareth stands and follows on Rainas left, hoping to block the thing or force it out. How can one fight a shadow? And how much information is it gathering and taking to Morgan?

Alise looks over just in time to see Raina reach in her vest and keep her hand there. Merde! Chiot! Look at Raina...something is wrong, she is reaching for her knife.

Stoneys head snaps up. The band members all watch, never missing a beat. Dont worry Chaton. Raina would alert us all if she couldnt deal with whatever it is. Maybe it is that *ombre condamnée of Morgan's. The babies are safe with Silk, she would alert us if she felt the shadow near them.

Alise nods and links her arm through Pandoras.

Suddenly the front door opens, a group of shifters enter the tavern and the shadow darts out. Jeb feels a strange icy breeze, “What the fuck?”

Raina sighs with relief and takes her hand off her tanto which she had in a death grip under the cover of her vest.

Nick comes up behind her and lays a hand on her shoulder. “Are you okay?”

She nods and turns, Nicks arms going around her. “I fucking hate that bitch. I want her to die..”

“I know baby, I know... we all do...” Nick tries to comfort her.
